From: <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2019 13:19:58 +0000 Hello Ann, Further to your call out for other DRM-free publishers, OECD has always been DRM-free since it first started its digital publishing programme in the late ‘90s, and the catalogue of titles available on OECD iLibrary <http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/> is split amongst 17 different socio-economic and environmental subject areas.

While liblicense-l doesn't normally post notices of new products for sale, this one caught my eye for offering “more than 8,000 individual DRM free eBooks across 22 subject areas and more than 170 eCollections available on Bloomsbury Collections.” Given that their collection embraces a variety of well-known ‘brands’ (Arden Shakespeare, I.B. Tauris books), this is a noteworthy offer. Are there other major e-book offerings that are DRM free? We'd be glad to hear of any, and also to receive comments on the approach for posting here.
